GEOPOLITYCZNE KONSEKWENCJE REALIZACJI PAKIETU „FIT FOR 55” W FILARZE GRUNTÓW
GEOPOLITICAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE "FIT FOR 55" PACKAGE IN THE LAND PILLAR

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to explain the consequences of implementing one of the European Commission's successive proposals aimed at reducing emissions and increasing removals of greenhouse gases on agricultural and forest land. According to calculations based on estimates of emissions and removals adopted by the EC, the introduction of the proposed measures will result in some countries being unable to meet stringent climate targets. Pointing to the limited possibilities to increase sequestration and reduce CO₂ emissions, the author concludes that the so-called climate battle is doomed to failure. Since the actual climate impact of climate policy is negligible, the author proposes to adjust the European Commission's ambitious targets for individual countries by applying a special coefficient. This would reduce the negative effects that climate policy brings to the economy, food security and social security.
